When Precision & Pricing Are Paramount

“I’ve always had a passion for reclamation projects. Everything from refinishing dinner tables others had thrown out, to building outdoor furniture with the remnants from prior construction job tear-outs.

As it has for many of us, the pandemic brought about a lot of uncertainty. But it also brought an interesting opportunity. I finally had the time to pursue my passion and I wondered if my love for making "what was once old new again" could help others find a way to complete their own projects. I helped a few neighbors first, tearing out their older fences or decks and using a lot of the "bones," to create a beautiful, sound and solid structures, often exactly what they envisioned. Word of mouth spread quickly and it became obvious that there was a real need for somebody with the expertise and passion for these types of projects. This is how JLS craftsmen was born.

Today, JLS Craftsmen is a licensed and insured, full-service fence and deck contractor - proudly servicing the Kansas City Metro and Lawrence Areas.
